On the bottom there are two wheels, between them a battery compartment. A combined electric brush is located at the back of the bottom. The shape of the robot's body is non-standard. In the front part it is rounded, the rear part is rectangular, without an increase in width. The brush is located here. This shape improves the quality of cleaning corners and spaces along the walls.

Functional

The navigation system is supplemented with a laser rangefinder operating in the infrared range, the robot does not need to approach an obstacle closely to determine it, the sensor detects all objects at a distance, analyzing their shape and size. The system is not ideal, since the robot detects even small obstacles with obstacles - curtains, bedspreads hanging from the beds, and so on. But in general, it builds a map of the room well, finds a docking station, remembers the places where it has already been removed and where it has not yet been.

The model has a modified brush mount. In previous modifications, it was attached to a ball bearing, which requires constant cleaning of threads and hair wound around it. If this procedure is neglected, the cage clogged and the bearing wedged, causing the housing to overheat, melt and deform. This model uses a sleeve bearing protected by a plastic casing.
